Manager: Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola made a stunning start to life at City when he joined in 2016, winning his first 11 games in charge and was twice nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Month award in August and September 2016.

In his second season he guided the Blues to the Premier League title and the Carabao Cup, smashing records along the way in a stunning season.

He picked up four successive Manager of the Month awards and was voted the Premier League Manager of the Season and the LMA Manager of the Year.

He was again voted Premier League manager of the year after guiding City to four more trophies in 2018/19 to become the Club’s most successful boss ever with six trophies in three seasons. City added the Carabao Cup and Community Shield to Pep’s list in 2019/20, but the Catalan won yet more silverware in 2020/21, with another Premier League title and Carabao Cup success.

He also became the first City boss to take his side to a Champions League final in May 2021, taking his trophy haul to 10.

His incredible spell at the Etihad saw him claim a fourth Premier League title in five years in 2021/22 as well as reaching the Champions League semi-final.

The Catalan then signed a new two-year contract extension with the Club in November of 2022, a deal that will take him through to the summer of 2025. He reached another impressive milestone in April 2023, claiming a 100th home Premier League win in record time when City beat Liverpool 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

City’s winning form has continued for the remainder of the season under Guardiola’s leadership, helping City lift our third consecutive Premier League title with three games remaining of the 2022/23 campaign.
And to top off another history-defining season under Pep’s tenure, an FA Cup final win over Manchester United followed by a Champions League final win over Inter saw City named Treble winners.

The manager continues to take City to new heights as he led the Club to their first-ever Super Cup victory in our debut appearance in the European showpiece. Pep also won his fourth FIFA Club World Cup in December 2023 as City beat Fluminense 4-0 in Jeddah.

And last season Pep led his City team to yet another Premier League title, making history as the only Premier League club to win four Premier League titles in a row
